Recent Japan core CPI readings, including 1.8% YoY for July national data and Tokyo’s August figure, have kept the 2026 average near the lower end of the 2% target range amid fuel subsidies and base effects, supporting the slim 51.2% market-implied odds for ≤1.9%. Wage gains and yen depreciation continue to underpin underlying price pressures, while Middle East-related energy costs add upside risks that the Bank of Japan is addressing through gradual rate hikes. The closely matched 43.5% probability for 2.0-2.4% reflects uncertainty over second-half acceleration from services and AI-driven demand, with the upcoming September BOJ policy decision and September CPI release as key near-term catalysts.

The resolution source for this market will be the SBJ Consumer Price Index Annual Report released for 2026 (https://www.stat.go.jp/english/data/cpi/1588.html#nen), currently scheduled to be released on January 22, 2027. Resolution of this market will take place upon release of the aforementioned data.
Note: the resolution source for this market will be the official SBJ Consumer Price Index Annual Report, which reports percentage change in the Consumer Price Index over 12-month periods to only one decimal point (e.g., 2.8%). Thus, this is the level of precision that will be used when resolving the market. For the avoidance of doubt, this market resolves on the core CPI figure — the all items index excluding fresh food — not the headline all items CPI figure.
If the SBJ does not release the relevant figures on the scheduled date, this market may remain open up until March 31, 2027. If the information is not released by that time, this market will resolve to the lowest bracket.
